I was recently immersed in the book 'The Fatal
Shore' by Robert Hughes. With European settlement in Australia
beginning on the high seas, it guarantees the onset
of saltwater boils, scurvy and convict lashings as you turn each page.
To this day, immigration to Australia proves to be a shady and complex
issue. Whether people arrive as free settlers or flee from torture, we
can't deny that boats have brought so many life journeys to our
continent, and their stories have created the fabric of Australian
society.
